My Husky Rider 155 has a 4" turning circle. Not quite a zero, but a lot more pleasant to run. The Rider is an articulating mower. Ideal for getting around trees. The GTH is a garden tractor style and has 23" back tires; it is not nearly as agile. I think it has an 18" turning circle, but 99% of my use for it is large grassy areas and slopes.
Either one 'will' turn over if you just go flying off. I tried putting an out-rigger on the Rider 155. That worked, but your A* H*** will bite donuts when it tilts over to the point of running on the out-rigger arm.
If you can afford something like the Ventrac, I think that'll be about the best there is for the money. Second choice would be something with dual tires on all 4 corners like a KwikCut - but then you're getting into the $50K range.
Cheap, like me, would be looking at a mower with rear wheel weights and a weight box for the front. For 1+ acres of cutting, I wouldn't want to invest $12,000++ for a mower. Now... if you "need" a tractor, the Husky is not the machine you're looking for.
